Dubai World Central to go live in 2010: Sheikh Ahmed
The Dubai Government's single largest urban land development project, Dubai World Central (DWC) will go live in its first phase of operation when DWC-Al Maktoum International Airport opens in June 2010, said His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman, Dubai Aviation City Corporation.
His statement came prior to this year's edition of the Airport Show being held from May 19-21 at Dubai Airport Expo which is expected to throw the spotlight on the region's ongoing Dhs220bn airport infrastructure investment.
“Our vision for Dubai is to be an unparalleled global commercial, trade and transportation hub with a unique integrated multi-modal logistics platform in DWC which will change all known air, land and sea transportation parameters,” said Sheikh Ahmed.
Dubai Aviation City Corporation incorporates both Dubai World Central and Dubai Airports Company.
Meanwhile, Dubai Logistics City (DLC), a core component of DWC's multi-modal proposition, has begun licensing completed warehouses and logistics offices and handing over facilities to tenants to commence operations on-site.
At the airport, the construction of the first of its 16 cargo terminals has been completed, well on its way to achieving the project's ultimate goal of having an annual cargo capacity of 12 million tonnes. With a capacity of 200,000 tonnes and spread over 41,000 square metres of built up area, the terminal's capacity can be expanded to 600,000 tonnes, if required.
Another major achievement is the construction of the Middle East's tallest free standing Air Traffic Control (ATC) tower which has been completed. Currently, the tower is being fitted with all navigational aids.
Standing at 91 metres, the ATC facility also includes a separate technical block of 6,000 square metres which will house offices, operations, technical rooms, flight simulators and a meteor observation cabin.
In addition, the facility has an airside / landside interface with secured access to airside, offering air traffic controllers the ability to handle multiple airborne airplanes as well as on-ground aircraft.
Besides DWC-Al Maktoum International Airport, Dubai World Central comprises DLC and DWC Aviation City, surrounded by its real estate offerings - DWC Residential City, DWC Commercial City and DWC Golf City.
